Consumer Description
I OWN A 2016 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL. I RECENTLY GOT A RECALL (V08 I BELIEVE) THAT GREATLY EFFECTED THE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND FUEL MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK. I LOVE ON A BEND ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I PRESS THE THROTTLE THERE IS A GOOD 5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRUCK ACCELERATES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS FCA HAS NOTIFIED DEALERS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND THAT IS THE RESPONSE THEY GAVE ME. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK THERE WERE NO ACCELERATION ISSUES AND THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS 4-5MPG GREATER BEFORE THIS COMPUTER UPDATE. PLEASE FACILITATE A FIX FOR THIS BEFORE I GET HIT LEAVING MY HOUSE OR TURNING ONTO ANY STREET.
